About the game
What you do in a play session
This is a poignant cooperative experience where the goal goes beyond just maintaining the patient's vital signs. You must balance managing medical emergencies with building a bond of trust with Billy. Across 10 replayable scenarios, players piece together the puzzle of his life, diving into fragmented memories and a troubled past. The ultimate goal is to help Billy find the courage needed to confront three deep regrets that keep him 'holding on' despite his failing body.
Blending worker placement and storytelling, the game transforms your table into a tense and reflective hospital environment. You'll need total synergy to manage resources and actions, trying to discover who Billy Kerr really was while fighting against the clock. It's a game that stirs emotions, dealing with heavy themes like death and grief, but with the beauty of showcasing the extraordinary life of an ordinary person. If you enjoy games that tell deep stories and challenge your logic through puzzles, this title is an intense dive into human psychology.
